This could be corrected quickly by some switches simple by observing the conflict and MAC address on the other port. My experience is this depends on the switch and age.

Unless all limited knowledge and experience is all wrong, I fail to see what you are saying to me
He is using a superhub, it is a 4 port hub (that's HUB, NOT switch in ANY sense of the word) attached to a modem, hence intermittent ARP problem regarding a PS3 it cannot be.
